Bug Description

[Impact]
Backport auth.conf.d support to allow specifying per-repository authentication data in separate files, so packages can setup authenticated repositories.

[Regression potential]
We ignore errors from opening auth.conf.d files, so regressions can only occur when parsing a file fails, in which case apt would exit with an error.

[Test case]
The test suite provides autopkgtests for auth.conf.d which creates an auth.conf.d file and checks that it is successfully used; so we can check if those passed.

Except on trusty- do it manually there, by adding a file for a private ppa, and then running update.

- make sure to upgrade apt-transport-https on trusty & xenial...

There is a bug in that we do not install the auth.conf.d directory in the package, I'm tracking this in bug 1818996 and will soon push out new SRUs with the additional directory and a fix for a wrong hook name.

The auth.conf.d support in trusty and xenial does not seem to be working for https repos at least. Gotta re-investigate, it was working when I committed it, and xenial has a test case for it, so odd.

Oh, this is slightly embarrassing: THe reason it failed is that I forgot to update apt-transport-https in trusty and xenial.

After upgrading apt-transport-https, auth.conf.d support is working correctly in both 1.0.1ubuntu2.21 in trusty-proposed, and 1.2.30 in xenial-proposed.
